‏ Jude 8

 Yet ( μεντο ). See Joh 4:27. In spite of these warnings.

 In like manner ( ομοιως ). Like the cities of the plain.

 These also ( κα ουτο ). The false teachers of verse 4.

 In their dreamings ( ενυπνιαζομενο ). Present middle participle of  ενυπνιαζω, to dream (from  ενυπνιον dream, Ac 2:17, from  εν and  υπνος, in sleep), in Aristotle, Hippocrates, Plutarch, papyri, LXX (Joe 2:28), here only in N.T. Cf. Col 2:18.

 Defile ( μιαινουσιν ). Present active indicative of  μιναινω, old verb, to stain, with sin (Tit 1:15) as here. 2Pe 2:10 has  μιασμου.

 Set at nought ( αθετουσιν ). Present active indicative of  αθετεω, to annul. Both  κυριοτης (dominion) and  δοξα (dignities) occur in 2Pe 2:10, which see for discussion.
